VTrans Intelligent Information System (ITS)

ECI’s Client: Vermont Agency of Transportation

Completion Date: 2007

Subcontractors: Teljet Longhaul (Fiber Splicer/Tester)

This project consisted of a communications line upgrade to allow for relocation of some of the state’s computer network system that was vulnerable to flooding conditions along the Winooski River in Montpelier, Vermont. The project was highly visible on the main through street of Vermont’s capital city. A great many of Vermont state government employees passed by, and several visited the site daily. As a result, our work was under the watchful eye of not only the client, but other arms of state government responsible for OSHA compliance, environmental protection, stormwater discharge, etc.
